SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

Question

I am getting error while running this part of the code. tried some of the existing solutions, none of them helped

elec_and_weather = pd.read_csv(r'C:\HOUR.csv', parse_dates=True,index_col=0)
# Add historic DEMAND to each X vector
 for i in range(0,24):
    elec_and_weather[i] = np.zeros(len(elec_and_weather['DEMAND']))
    elec_and_weather[i][elec_and_weather.index.hour==i] = 1
# Set number of hours prediction is in advance
n_hours_advance = 24

# Set number of historic hours used
n_hours_window = 24

for k in range(n_hours_advance,n_hours_advance+n_hours_window):
    elec_and_weather['DEMAND_t-%i'% k] = np.zeros(len(elec_and_weather['DEMAND']))'

I am always getting this error

for i in range(0,24):
File "<ipython-input-29-db3022a769d1>", line 1
for i in range(0,24):
                     ^

Answer 1

The SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing means that the end of your source code was reached before all code blocks were completed. A code block starts with a statement like for i in range(100): and requires at least one line afterwards that contains code that should be in it.

It seems like you were executing your program line by line in the ipython console. This works for single statements like a = 3 but not for code blocks like for loops. See the following example:

In [1]: for i in range(100):
  File "<ipython-input-1-ece1e5c2587f>", line 1
    for i in range(100):
                        ^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

To avoid this error, you have to enter the whole code block as a single input:

In [2]: for i in range(5):
   ...:     print(i, end=', ')
0, 1, 2, 3, 4,
